-Far too many houses proposed for the size of the village.
-We do not have the infrastructure to deal with so many new properties.
-Huge increase in traffic.
-Flood risk.
-Impact on the green belt and protection of habitat.
-Addingham has been asked to provide a huge 10.27% of new build (163 houses), and yet the average is only 5.38%.
-Addingham village is small and has limited facilities to accommodate additional families and traffic.
-School is over- subscribed.
-Infrastructure such as sewerage will be overwhelmed. Drainage issues from run-off will be made worse.
-The bypass was built some time ago to alleviate traffic problems, and yet the added inevitable traffic increase would surely negate any benefit the bypass has provided.
-No objection to the brownfield sites being developed before impacting on the Green Belt.
-Impact on wildlife, footpaths, the Dales Highway, the Dales Way
-Addingham is a very special, unique village and deserves to have its character preserved.
